Álvaro Guillén, oil tradition with the aim of turning olive groves into world heritage

“When I was little, I drank oil instead of my mother’s milk.” Álvaro Guillén said this with a big smile, great great grandson, great grandson, grandson and son of oil producers, Board Director of Acesur, the fourth most successful olive oil trader in the world. He has the responsibility to carry on the long family tradition, but also the satisfaction of taking part in the largest international expansion that this Andalusian company has had to date, through their products in 100 countries in five continents. Their most popular brands are Coosur and in particular, La Española which is part of the Leading Brands of Spain Forum, together with companies like Zara, or Real Madrid, and leader of its sector in twenty countries. Álvaro Guillén is one of the promoters who, through the Juan Ramón Guillén Foundation of which he is a patron, intend olive groves to be declared as World Heritage.
